Bedlam!!!

Today's a big, BIG day in Stillwater, Oklahoma!!! The OU Sooners come to town to challenge the OSU Cowboys!!! This is the game to win let me tell ya. It will be a busy, busy day at the store that I manage. Yesterday was a great day as well as people were already in town getting ready for the game. I'll let you know how we did tomorrow IF I can drag myself off of the couch...lol

On to more important things, okay remember when my Mom came and I had her sewing??? Well here is the result of that day



It's pretty isn't it? The story behind this quilt is that 20 years ago my Mom made my sister a king size quilt like this, with my help and my Grandma's, for my sister for Christmas. It wasn't professionally quilted, I think we tied it and stitched in the ditch. My sister loved it and kept it on her bed. Well the next Christmas her place was robbed and they took the quilt, among other things. Well fast forward 20 years and I'm helping my Mom clean out her attic and I come across a box of scraps from the one and only quilt she's ever done. There's even a few finished basket blocks in there so I suggest that we put it together for Pam and have it quilted as a remembrance of the only quilt that my Mom has made. I hope that Pam likes it as I haven't heard yet.

I have another finished quilt that I put the binding on Thanksgiving day and I'll show pictures of that quilt tomorrow.

Have a great day today!
